Sydebolle Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Overtaking on the left (or undertaking, whatever you want to call it) increases the chances of hitting another vehicle for sure; taking the CCTV picture into the equation, then the accident would never have happened if: the Benz driver (race/nationality anyhow irrelevant and co-incidential here) not doing a circus turn the motorbike driver not overtaking on the left But then one would have to see the entire CCTV-clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Ironically, Jellinek named the new cars after his daughter, Mercédès Jellinek, whose Spanish name translated to “mercy.” In this accident the car does not live up to its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
